After receiving a request from NBC reporter Tom Winter, Judge Maryellen Noreika released the Hunter Biden plea deal.
She also released the diversion agreement.
Part of the diversion agreement stated that the United States will “not criminally prosecute Biden, outside of the terms of this Agreement, or any federal crimes encompassed by the attached Statement of Facts (Attachment A) and the Statement of Facts attached as Exhibit 1 to the Memorandum of Plea Agreement filed this same day.”
In his request, Winter wrote, “Those agreements should be publicly docketed given that they were discussed in open court and played a role in Your Honor’s decision on the proposed plea deal.”
Initially, Hunter Biden was to plead guilty to two tax evasion charges and minor gun charges.
Since the plea deal was rejected, Biden pleaded not guilty to the tax charges.
Reporting from Newsmax:
The Republican heads of three House committees on Monday announced in a letter they will investigate the circumstances surrounding Biden's failed plea deal, the New York Post reported. The letter, signed by Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., and Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith, R-Mo., was sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland less than one week after Noreika rejected the plea deal after describing it as "not standard" and questioning the deal's diversion agreement.
